Filing Period Starts Monday

PARKLAND — The candidate filing period for the June 18 City Commission election to fill the seat vacated by Gloria Griffin will run from Monday to May 24.

The election is for the District 2 seat vacated by the resignation of Griffin, who is moving to Atlanta. District 2 encompasses the Ranches neighborhood in the western part of the city.

In addition, according to City Clerk Susan Armstrong, the special election voting will be held at the CypressHead development`s clubhouse, 7501 E. CypressHead Drive, instead of the usual City Hall location.

Armstrong said a new polling location was sought because of space constraints at City Hall.

``It is difficult to have an election and conduct city business at the same time in one small room,`` Armstrong said.
